Someone that finally knows the truth behind these heater.

Excellent video, all true, thank you. For those who have asked about the cost of kerosene, the heat content of K-1 kerosene is about 135, 000 BTUs per gallon. This means that 1 gallon of kerosene is roughly equivalent to 39.5 kWh of electricity, when both are used for heat. Kerosene was very expensive during the 2022–23 winter, due to shortages and other factors, but even at $6 per gallon, which was the typical cost in my area, kerosene is the same price as electricity at about 15 cents per kilowatt hour, which is still less than many people now pay for their electricity. If kerosene drops to $5 per gallon, a more typical price over the last few winters, it is then in parity with electricity at about 12.5 cents per kilowatt hour.

The other really good thing about kerosene heaters is that you get so much more heat from them. A 23, 000 BTU kerosene heater produces more heat than 4 plug-in 1500 W electric heaters.

I also think kerosene heaters can be safer than electric heaters, especially in an old house, where the wiring might not be adequate. Just always remember these safety rules: Never refuel the heater while it is operating. Shut it off and let it cool first. Never store your kerosene inside the house. Take the heater outside to refuel it after it has cooled off. Never attempt to carry the kerosene heater around while it is operating.

My parents had a kero heater back when I was a kid (it was a Sears branded unit, so probably something like a Toyotomi, or Toyostove something like that), and as the years went by I got back into them. My current Dyna Glo has to be pushing 17 years old. Only thing I ever did to it was dry burn once a week and yearly wick replacements. This thing gets used nonstop too! From November to normally the beginning of March it's running 24/7. It's nice getting up at 3am to hit the bathroom and having a nice warm house to walk around in, even when we're in the negatives here in PA.

I do love my kerosene heater. I light it outside and extinguish it outside. Those are the only times when it gives off a strong odor. Can't be beat for short term emergency heat.

[ldavis]

I have the exact heater & its my only heat source in the winter...I learned about them living in Northern Japan....they are excellent...and very safe if one has basic common sense...
I even cook soups and stews on mine....I absolutely love my kerosene heater & will never use conventional heat again (it's to expensive).
Thank you for trying to help dispell the hype about kerosene heaters that the mainstream tries to spew at the masses in order to make money for themselves!

I've been thinking of getting one because I didn't have a boiler this winter so I had no heating, this would've been handy, plus if I can cook on it too that's a bonus

Thank you for mentioning venting a window and a CO detector. In more modern efficient homes this is important. Also K-1 Kerosene is the only type of fuel for unvented heaters. Yes ultra low sulfur diesel will burn but has additional oils in the fuel that will shorten the wicks life. The Kerosene used should have less than 400PPM (or 0.04% by weight) sulfur to reduce sulfur dioxide output. If you can find it at a local gas station, ultra low sulfur Kerosene with 15 ppm sulfur or less is the way to go. Dry burn your wick every 4 or 5 tanks of use and change out the wick every year with a good quality wick from Miles Stair wick shop and you should be good to go :-) They're great for just as you both described. Good video.

I remember in the 90s my parents would always light up the kerosene heaters during the winter. It was always a treat to come home from sledding, and warm up by the stove with while watching the snow fall some more. And to your point of cooking on the heaters - my mom would occasionally make hot chocolate for us on it after we came back from our sledding adventures or shoveling the sidewalks and driveway. Lot of good

[cranerigging]

Well said and AMEN folks ! 👍 Not to mention they also provide some light during a power outage .
I keep 3 heaters just like yours and a 55 gallon barrel of K- 1 in the shed .

Sending a great big shout out to my North American brethren from Holly old Blighty! Particularly y’all from Texas (being half Texan myself). I’ve watched plenty of prepper channels for many years- the info has been invaluable. Living on a boat in England- I’m not entirely off grid but for me, a paraffin stove is the cheapest and most efficient way to heat my home, particularly with the cost of things going up. Wouldn’t have thought of it thought without channels such as yours. Also gives a small sense of security- knowing that I am in control of my heating once I’ve purchased my litres of paraffin and stored it. God bless you guys

I got lucky and found a new never used kerosun kerosene cooker, thing is awesome has a large diameter that I can use my 23 qt pressure canner. The top grate is almost the same dia. As the canner. Also just the other day I bought a dyna glo 23, 800 but heater like yours for $25 with a new kerosene can only used one winter when their furnace quit. I am quite happy. I was ready to spend $180 on a new one.

I’m glad i found this I’ve always been scared of using anything to heat the inside of my 10x10 tent❤❤❤ thank you for this video

I collect antique kerosene lamps, both flat wick, English double wick and the Rayo central draft round wicks. I am amazed in the wintertime how much heat they give off in addition to a very pleasant light that even allows one to read with the proper shades. if you use the high-quality KI heater fuel there is no odor no smoke and I never have to clan the chimneys if the wicks are properly adjusted. In a power out situation four of these lamps in any room would keep you from freezing!

[theclimbingroseaffirmations]

I'm trying to use this as my primary heat source. I am in Georgia and the winters are getting colder and colder. My bill was $350 when we got to 3 degrees, because my heat pump could not keep up. If you run it at certain times it cost more, and I work from home. I saw on Reddit a near by gas station carries kerosene for $7 a gallon and Walmart has k1 for $12 a gallon. Have to calculate how long I can run it daily without breaking the bank.

[NYStar-ek]

Very cool. I had one when I lived in the country.

[parmorama]

Great stuff 👍. Also best way of heating if you live in an earthquake zone, as gas pipes start leaking and cause explosions. Almost everyone in Japan uses Kerosene (Paraffin) heaters.

[margaretlemmon]

Short, clear and to the point. Thanks I will be checking out your channel

[SB-mrnk]

great video thank you! Needing this right now

[ralphwhite]

Thank you for that. I guess I'll get some new wicks. I have 3 different stiles. One is very old.

[freedomlife]

Great info, one thing i would like to ask is people mention that these give off a smell or smoke slightly, this is what always put me off buying one. Is this true?
